Factoid: Older running backs

A lot of the top running back prospects are older guys – not ancient, but guys in the second halves of their careers. That makes me nervous, with it tending to be a younger man’s position.  more »

Packers RB Jones to see more catches in 2022?

With wide receiver DAVANTE ADAMS no longer in town, the Green Bay Packers may turn to running back AARON JONES as a bigger part of the game plan for the upcomingMore season. The belief is that he can grow into a consistent receiving weapon for the Packers, with the possibility of his role even evolving into one similar to DEEBO SAMUEL’s in San Francisco last season.

Factoid: Packers sans Adams

I wonder how much the Packers will miss Davante Adams? Great receiver, of course, but they’ve played without him in the past, and the offense hasn’t fallen apart.  more »

Factoid: Green Bay Packers

The Packers will have to play without their featured wide receiver, and they’re on the road against a good defense. You would think that would derail their offense. But Green Bay has played without Davante Adams many times in the past, and the decline hasn’t been as severe as you might think.   more »

Thunder and Lightning to strike in Green Bay backfield?

Green Bay running back A.J. DILLON, a lightly used second-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, is expecting big things heading into his second season.

Green Bay Packers running back AARON JONES says that second-year quarterback JORDAN LOVE looks more comfortable as the young signal-caller prepares to head into his second season in the NFL. WithMore AARON RODGERS still disgruntled and nowhere to be seen, all eyes are on Love during organized team activities (OTAs).

Around the NFL: Packers running backs

Jamaal Williams signed with the Lions. I think this will force Green Bay to use Aaron Jones more in obvious passing situations. That could be both a good and a bad thing.  more »

Around the NFL: Aaron Jones

In a mild surprise, to me at least, the Packers signed Aaron Jones yesterday to a four-year, $48 million contract. It's surprising only in that Green Bay protect Jones from leaving with the franchise tag, making it seem he'd reach the open market. It's not surprising in terms of what Jones has earned over the past few seasons.   more »
